Take a Sabbatical.
Come over here.
I'll tour you London and Oxford. They have enough Merkins that you will feel safe. But we'll be based in Aylesbury. We have no Merkins. You will be strange and exotic and everyone will want to talk to you. It'll be a great recharge for your self-esteem.

Seriously. All you need is the airfare. My family will pick you up, put you u[ and feed you unfamiliar foods. So you might even get weightloss as part of the deal!

Yes! Because what happens when you need that eleventh beer, hmm? You've got to plan, woman, plan.

And glatt's right. You can take FMLA, disappear and do anything for up to a whole year, and if you decide (strangely) that the Spanish coast is not for you, you just waltz back in and they have to give you a job, no questions asked.

And I WILL need that 11th beer.

Hmmm, I never thought of FMLA.

I'm getting some great ideas from you all and it's pumping up my gumption.

Pump up the Gump!

why are we invoking Sheldon at this point? Is it Make A Wish time?

IM, I was there once and I did try to end it all. I am so glad that I failed. I didnt have anyone to tell me what Glatt told you. Please, take it seriously and take care of yourself first.

Basically, what I am trying to say is...

YOU ARE NOT STUCK! YOU CAN GET OUT!

Pico, she's in the hospital getting help right now :) (it's in another thread)

Eat a bag o' dicks then. I was trying to be humorous.

Sheesh.

i think there is too much sexual tension between you and monster. classic misdirection of emotions

Haggis!

I'm imagining a situation involving Gravdigr, Monster, Lookout, Dana, four blindfolds, a roulette wheel, and a vow of silence.

That's weird! I do that every time I come here!

i miss merc

yeah, let;s do that one again.

Sorry to hear that, Sarge.
